Beitstad (Urban East Norwegian: [ˈbæ̂ɪtstɑ]) is a village in Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village is located along the Beitstadsundet strait at the end of the Beitstadfjorden at the inner end of the Trondheimsfjord, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southwest of the village of Vellamelen and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of the town of Steinkjer.

Beitstad is situated along Norwegian County Road 17 (Fylkesvei 17) which has twisted through the village since 1867. It is a typical farming village that stretches from the bay and into the hinterland to the east. Animal husbandry, crop production, and forestry have traditionally been the prime industries. Beitstad Church is located in this village.

The village was the administrative centre of the old Beitstad Municipality which existed from 1838 until 1964 when it was merged into Steinkjer Municipality.
